Phosphorus are a band from Germany that plays a mixture of post black, sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Frail Grasp Of Broken Hands" which was released by Vendetta Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams. Elements of sludge and doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Clean playing is also added into certain sections of the album along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as one track also introducing clear vocals onto the album, cellos can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover environment, abuse, anti religion and society themes.
In my opinion Phosphorus are a very great sounding mixture of post black, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Final Grasp Of Broken Hands" and "Silken Skin". 8 out of 10.
